Northrop Grumman’s B 21 Raider Stealth Bombers Operates Drones part 2
Northrop Grumman’s B-21 Raider Stealth Bombers Teaming and Operates Drones.
Very little information is available about the B-21 Raider, for understandable security reasons, as most of the program is “black” or considered highly secret. However, senior Air Force leaders have been clear that they expect the B-21 to be able to hold any target at risk, anywhere in the world, at any time.
Often referring to the B-21 in the context of a “family of systems,” senior Air Force leaders have for quite some time discussed the new Stealth Bomber as expected to be capable of unmanned missions also. This concept of operations could evolve in several ways, as it could involve preparations for having the B-21 fly unmanned missions itself, or operate groups of networked drones from the cockpit of the aircraft.
This kind of “Loyal Wingman” capability, now progressing quickly through Air Force testing and development, enables a manned crew to control the flight path and sensor payload from the cockpit of the aircraft. This not only allows manned crews to operate at a safer stand-off range but also enables operation of a forward “node” or sensor platform from which to conduct surveillance, test enemy air defenses or even drop weapons when directed by a human.
B-21Stealth Bomber, manned-unmanned teaming also introduces a wide range of new tactical possibilities. To include an ability to deliver a much larger weapons payload. Increase dwell time over target areas and conduct attacks over a wider envelope or engagement area.
2023 is the year. when the new bomber is slated to enter low-rate initial production, and final testing and preparation has been underway for months. at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.
“We are, assessing the potential to introduce a lower cost, complementary, uncrewed aircraft into the B-21 to provide an enhanced level of capability,” Undersecretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz. told reporters at the announcement of the service’s. 2023 budget request.
The Air Force is requesting $1.7 billion to begin producing the aircraft, which will begin its first flights in late 2022 or early 2023.
